Lead Business Analyst / Project Manager

Job Summary

You'll own the company's day-to-day relationship with four of MPBI's stakeholder programs: Environmental Programs, Air Force Environmental Programs, the Health Infrastructure Office (HIO), and FUDSMIS.

This is a hybrid role, splitting your time evenly between Business Analyst leadership and hands-on Program Management. On the BA side, you'll focus on delivering functional requirements, developing training and user documentation, supporting architecture documentation, and driving User Acceptance Testing (UAT) within sprint timelines. You will ensure the dashboards and reports we deliver actually solve the problem each program brought to us.

On the PM side, you own the program's Project Management reporting requirements. This means executing contract performance management, monthly status reporting, quality control, schedule/risk tracking, meeting coordination, and roadmap upkeep. Note: This role does not involve advisory or decision-making functions regarding program policy, strategic priorities, or resource allocation; all such decisions remain the strict responsibility of Government officials. You will balance these reporting and analysis tasks qualitatively across the four stakeholder groups, acting as the consistent face of the project for these stakeholders.

Location: Remote, anywhere within the contiguous United States (CONUS). No relocation required.

Clearance Requirements

• Selected candidates must be able to obtain and maintain network access to government systems, which requires a successfully adjudicated background investigation (Tier 1 investigation minimum).

• US Citizenship required

About Our Organization

Our company is an SBA 8(a)-certified small business that gives federal missions a clear view into their own data. We modernize data environments, streamline business processes, and build secure, scalable IT solutions for defense and civilian agencies. Clarity, delivery, and impact aren't slogans here. They're how we scope engagements and how we hold ourselves accountable.

Our track record spans some of the federal government's largest platforms. We've integrated more than 30 systems across the Army's Integrated Personnel and Payroll System (IPPS-A) to better serve over 1.1 million soldiers. We modernized Human Resources Line of Business (HRLOB) integrations across VA, GSA, OPM, NCUA, and RRB. We've supported the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where we now support the Military Programs Business Intelligence (MPBI) program: converting more than 100 legacy reporting artifacts to the Microsoft Power Platform and building custom Power BI capabilities beyond what's available out of the box.

This role sits inside that MPBI work. You'll join a team actively modernizing how USACE tracks and reports on military programs data, not maintaining a legacy system on autopilot.
